RE: Notice of the Need for the Control or Eradication of Noxious Weeds
Dear Landowner:
Under provision of the Colorado Weed Management Act(35-5.5-109 CRS) and Weld County Code,
Chapter 15, Article II, this letter is to serve as notice that the presence of noxious weeds has been observed
on properties which are owned, leased, and/or occupied by you and located in: Section 36, Township 8
North, Range 65 West of the 6th P. M., in Weld County, Colorado. The property is designated in the Weld
County Assessor's Office as parcel number(s) 055136300023,055136300024, 055136400015.
The noxious weed present on the property is: Russian Knapweed (Centaurea repens).
Because these weeds are nearing bloom stage, they must be controlled and kept from going to seed.
Presently, the best methods of control are: 1) to mow as necessary throughout the year to keep the weeds
from going to seed (3-5 times) and then spray with herbicides in the fall, 2) to mow throughout the season
to keep the plants from going to seed, 3) to spray with herbicides up to the early flower stage.
Section 35-5.5-109, C.R.S. and Weld County Code, Chapter 15, requires you to control the weeds by
using at least one of these methods by July 1St or submit an acceptable weed management plan with
an acceptable completion date or request an arbitration panel by July If you do not comply by
July 1st, I will request a Right of Entry from the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County to
enter the property to control the designated noxious weeds at your expense, as provided in Section
35-5.5-109 (5a) C.R.S. and Weld County Code, Chapter 15.
I will be glad to answer any questions you may have regarding the control or eradication of the noxious
weeds on the property. I am also available to assist you in developing short and long term weed
management plans. My office phone number is 970-304-6496, Ext. 3769 or 3771. Please ask for Tina
Booton or me.
Sincerely,
Evan Pinkham
Weld County Landowner Specialist
